She is here!

After a long awaited arrival, she is here! Aida Widlund (pronounced with a long “A” and a silent “I”) was born on Thursday, March 29th, at 6:29am. She was 9 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long. She has here daddy’s eyes and my mouth, but neither of are sure where she came into her height and her size. Regardless, she is beautiful!

My heart has doubled (at least), since Aida made her debut. I never knew I could be so in love with two people (Eben & Aida). I also never knew I could find such patience in a state of “new parent” exhaustion.

Thank you all for boundless support through this adventure of becoming a parent.

Welcome to parenthood, Chris and Eben! I love, love, love the name Aida (one of my dearest friends shares the same name). As I navigate the ‘tween years, may your journey be as rich, growth-ful, wild and wonderful as mine has been. Love and hugs to you all!!!

Awww…what a sweetie! And you and Eben look so happy! I can see why your heart is bursting, Chris. Many, many congratulations! So glad for you both.
Best wishes for the wonderful unfoldings of each day.

Thanks Joey. Each day does bring its own adventure. Just when we think we have something figured out, change happens. I think that has become the new mantra of my life. Who wants to make the bumper stickers?

Chris and Eben – Congratulations!!! She took her time – but look what you have – she’s beautiful! Best wishes as you start along the road of parenthood. Remember those famous words-“sleep when she sleeps” – the house will still be there. Please keep the photos coming.
luv ya, Judy and Heather
